Abstract
A previously healthy two-year-old girl presented with proteinuria and macroscopic haematuria. Laboratory findings included haemolytic anaemia with thrombocytopenia. Interestingly, continuing reticulocytopenia was noted. Therefore an acute parvovirus B19 infection was suspected, which could be confirmed by serological and molecularbiological evidence. This case report underlines renal complications of parvovirus B19 infection in early childhood including haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS)-like episodes, and potential pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.
Zusammenfassung
Ein vormals gesundes, zweijähriges Mädchen wur-de mit Proteinurie und makroskopischer Hämaturie vorgestellt. Die laborchemischen Untersuchungen ergaben zudem eine hämolytische Anämie mit Thrombozytopenie sowie eine über Tage andauernde Retikulozytopenie. Daher wurde eine akute Parvovirus-B19-Infektion vermutet, welche serologisch und mittels PCR-Diagnostik nachgewiesen werden konnte. Dieser Fallbericht unterstreicht das Auftreten renaler Komplikationen - einschließlich Episoden ähnlich einem hämolytisch-urämischen Syndrom - von Parvovirus-B19-Infektionen in der frühen Kindheit. Potenzielle pathogenetische Mechanismen werden diskutiert.
